I think it may have been. She's a slender middle-aged lady with brown hair. There's a whole section in Lisa's Bridal, the 14-20 dress size range (where I was looking), and it's a bunch of Stella York/Essense of Australia dresses... They are STUNNING. Ask to try them on!! Haha. You'll see my dress there too (strapless, beaded w bling & pearls, trumpet shape)

View quoted message Was it Shelley perhaps that you had your appointment with? If so, that's who I just dealt with and she did the same thing. I'm definitely more confident now with them, and am really looking forward to going back there. I never thought to ask to look at wedding dresses though! It's just me hanging out here today, Maybe I'll go back!

Don't be scared! Just walk in with confidence. You are a bride with money to spend!!! They need to treat you well, or don't buy your dress with them. (You need to go back for accessories, alterations, possibly bridesmaid dresses, MOTB dress... etc)...

I went into Lisa's Bridal alone without an appointment, and told her straight up, I have an appointment in 3 months, but I want to see dresses and get rid of the overwhelming feelings now before everyone's here. She was super sweet, and put herself as my consultant for my real appointment. She even had my fave dress waiting and it ended up being THE dress!

View quoted message Awesome thank you. I'm afraid of walking in to some, as I read the reviews online for johnathon bridal a few months ago and it's made me terrified of bridal stores hahah 😂

Did you go into the Bridal Gallery? sometimes on weekdays they will have availability, or it will be a short wait for a consultant to be available. Pretty much every other store on the street is walk-in... we were out there on a Saturday and they were practically empty.
